The rate constants of reaction of triethylamine with ethyl bromide have been measured in 13 solvents at the temperatures of 293, 313, 333, and 373 K. The activation entropies in the individual solvents increase when going from nonpolar to dipolar aprotic and polar protic solvents, which is explained by dominant solvation of the basic triethylamine and by formation of highly ordered associates without solvent in the activated complex in nonpolar solvent media. No isokinetic relationship has been found between the activation entropy and activation enthalpy, which indicates different solvent effects on the two quantities. The activation enthalpy and entropy of the reaction investigated are close to those of the reaction of triethylamine with ethyl iodide. Three methods have been used to evaluate the effect of medium at all the temperatures, their success being decreased in the order: Pytela's method - Kamlet-Taft - Koppel-Palm. Irrespective of the temperature, all the methods indicate that the reaction is accelerated by the solvent polarity, the significance of other effects being reflected differently depending on the temperature and the correlation equation used. A complex evaluation involving also the interpretation of the entropy and enthalpy components by means of empiric solvent parameters has shown that the resulting Gibbs energy represents a superposition of different effects of solvents on the two thermodynamic quantities, the solvent effect upon the activation entropy being predominant at the higher temperatures.

Dicyclohexylmethylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate is used to react with polyoxytetramethylene diol at different temperatures. N,N-Dimethyl acetamide is used as solvent.In situFT-IR is used to monitor the reaction to work out rate constant, Arrhenius equation and Eyring equation. The polymerization has been found to be a second order reaction, and the rate constant increases with the rise of temperature. Activation energy (Ea), activation enthalpy (ΔH) and activation entropy (ΔS) for the polymerization are respectively calculated out, which are very useful to reveal the reaction mechanism.

The paper presents a classification of 51 solvents based on clustering in three-dimensional space formed by the empirical scale of PAC, PBC, and PPC parameters designed for interpretation of solvent effect on a model with cross-terms. For the classification used are the clustering methods of the nearest neighbour, of the furthest neighbour, of average bond, and the centroid method. As a result, the solvents have been divided into 8 classes denoted as: I - nonpolar-inert solvents (aliphatic hydrocarbons), IIp - nonpolar-polarizable (aromatic hydrocarbons, tetrachloromethane, carbon disulphide), IIb - nonpolar-basic (ethers, triethylamine), IIIp - little polar-polarizable (aliphatic halogen derivatives, substituted benzenes with heteroatom-containing substituents), IIIb - little polar-basic (cyclic ethers, ketones, esters, pyridine), IVa - polar-aprotic (acetanhydride, dialkylamides, acetonitrile, nitromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, sulfolane), IVp - polar-protic (alcohols, acetic acid), and V - exceptional solvents (water, formamide, glycol, hexamethylphosphoric triamide). The information content of the individual parameters used for the classification has been determined. The classification is based primarily on solvent polarity/acidity (PAC), less on polarity/basicity (PBC), and the least on polarity/polarizability (PPC). Causal relation between chemical structure of solvent and its effect on the process taking place therein has been established.

The rate constants have been measured of the reactions of methyl iodide with triethylamine (I) and tributylamine (III) at 293 K in twelve aprotic solvents, methyl iodide with tripropylamine (II) at 293, 313, 323, and 333 K in fifteen solvents differing greatly in their dipole moments, relative permittivities, and refractive indexes, and diiodomethane with tripropylamine in diiodomethane at 293 K (k1 = 2.1 10-5 s-1). The aprotic solvents predominantly affect the activation entropy which for the reaction of II varies from -200 J mol-1 s-1 (in cyclohexane) to -108 J mol-1 s-1 (in diiodomethane). The activation enthalpy of the reaction of methyl iodide with tripropylamine (II) is only little affected by aprotic solvents, a significant increase in activation enthalpy has been observed in the case of amphiprotic solvents. The evaluation of effect of medium on the rate constants of the above-mentioned reactions by means of the Kirkwood functions of relative permittivity and refractive index has shown a significant contribution of the refractive index of solvent which is comparable with the effect of relative permittivity.

The flagellar beat frequency of Strigomonas oncopelti was found by cinémicrophotography at temperatures in the range 4-45° C. The thermal dependence is described by an activation enthalpy (ΔH‡) of 15.4 kcal./mole and an activation entropy (ΔS‡ of -1 e.u. ΔH‡ is comparable with published data on cilia and glycerol-extracted sperm. Values of ΔS‡ (-20 e.u.) deduced from the literature suggest a rate-limiting reaction between ions of like charge although the present value does not support this idea.

Rates of hydrolysis, kH+, of methyl 2-chloro-2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-(III), 2,3-dichloro-2,3,3-trifluoro-(IV), 2,2,3-trichloro-3,3-difluoro-(V), 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-(VI) and 3-chloro-2,3,3-trifluoropropanoate (VII) were measured in 0.5M-HCl in aqueous methanol (80% vol; 76% wt) at 40, 50 and 60 °C. The relative rate constants, krel (50 °C), (for the propanoate III, kH+ = 4.3 . 10-5 l mol-1 s-1; krel = 100) are 311, 100, 38, 9.4, 44 and 15 for the esters II, III, IV, V, VI and VII, respectively (experimental error ±9%). It was found that krel = αβ where α and β are the following factors for groups in the position 2 and 3: CClF 10, CHF 4.2, CCl2 2.8, CF3 10 and CClF2 3.6. The rate constants obey the isokinetic relationship. For the ester III the dependence of log kobs on logarithm of hydrogen chloride concentration is linear at concentrations 0.08-2.4 mol l-1 which, together with high activation entropy ΔS≠ for the esters III-VII (-167 to -217 J mol-1 K-1), shows that the hydrolysis proceeds by an AAC2 mechanism.

A study was made of the effects of temperature and different microorganisms, or mixtures of microorganisms, on the changes in the nitrogenous constituents of mixed forest litters (mixed pine, oak, maple) during decomposition periods of up to 4 yr at 1, 4, 10, and 27 C. The percentage of total-N in the decomposing materials increased with time, the increase being related to loss in weight of sample. The percentage of amino-N/total-N was higher with the soil-extract-treated leaf mixture than with the fungi-inoculated material; it increased to a maximum at some intermediate period, then decreased, and was highest with the 930 day 27 C material. Most of the individual amino acids increased in amount up to 930 days; then decreased, the amounts being, in general, higher with higher temperatures. Much of this increase was related to loss in weight of sample, but there appeared to be some net synthesis of amino acid. Lysine and, to a lesser extent, histidine were exceptions to this generalization. The amounts of hexosamines increased with decomposition: with the soil-extract-treated materials the increase of galactosamine was relatively greater than that of glucosamine, but little or no galactosamine was found in any of the fungi-inoculated materials. The amino acid ratios, i.e., the proportion of one relative to another, did not change in any consistent fashion, except for lysine. With the fungi-inoculated material, autoclaving reduced the amount of lysine to less than one-half and a ninhydrin-reacting material appeared before arginine on the amino acid chromatograms; its amount was not changed during decomposition. It may be similar to lysine derivatives found in acid hydrolyzates of heated milk.

<p>The rate of the alkaline solvolysis of allyl bromide has been measured in various ethanol-water and methanol-water mixtures. This has been found to increase with increase in solvent polarity. An attempt was made to explain this behaviour in terms of partial ionisation of the substrate. It has been suggested that in nucleophilic substitution the individual specific rate constants for attack by alkoxide or hydroxide ions are a better indication of solvent effects than the apparent overall rate constant.</p>
